Your understanding of the journey of life would also reveal the truth behind why success begins with you. Here is your inspirational message to bring you closer to genuine happiness and a successful living.
Many are chasing the best things in life without any vision or plan. Their thoughtless approach plunges them into many troubles. Have they forgotten that nature has its own laws? — then here also comes the laws of success and its theories. Take a broader look at how humans earn wages/salaries or make a living. You would realize that success begins with you. I’m not forgetting to remind you of putting God first in everything you do.
In the context of this post, I want to draw your attention to a few facts that would help you to understand that success begins with you yourself. You are the person in question here. I want to help you move your lofty goals smoothly to the top like the tiny bubbles in a glass of beer.
But if you are the quick-tempered guy or lack self-discipline like patience(long-suffering) — you will ruin the whole thing about success. We’ve heard a lot about the key to success from prominent men but not everything works out in reality.
God has given you everything you need to work hard, reason up and make the best of your life in your entire existence as a homo-sapien. You have these:
• 5 senses
• A functioning brain
• An active spirit within your mortal body
We are multi-complex organisms with many different abilities. Those who realize the power within them go out for what they deserve without fear. They never underestimate their potentials.
God is not going to set your goals for you. If this is what you want; then why do you still have a “functioning brain?”
Let me help you understand why that success you are aiming for begins with yourself. I’m trying my best not to allow this post’s theme to be too religious —so let’s face reality with the ability bestowed on us to find problems, solve them and make progress in life.
Understanding Yourself Better
Who are you? The right answer wouldn’t come from anyone but yourself. If you think you are capable of achieving greater things in life — then that’s true. Again, if you think you are unworthy of anything good — then you are also right.
This is where your story begins. Acknowledging your value and being passionate about your dreams would have a greater influence on all your endeavors for success.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt
Assessment Of Your Value or Worth
There are many items a bar iron could be transformed into. In the same way, there are many different achievements one can make despite his little beginnings.
An iron bar in the normal standard of market value doesn’t cost much. But when it is turned into different items, the value changes. There is a saying that your value is determined by what you make out of yourself.
I’m drawing your attention to the importance of growth and transformation.
Take a look at this scenario that I find so interesting:
The price of an iron bar costs $5. When it is turned into a horseshoe it costs $15. When made into a balance spring for watches it is worth $350,000.
Letting Transformation Take Place
It begins by renewing your mind and believing in the goals you have set. Yes, you must dream big. There is no limit to the dream you can have.
It’s not an easy thing to achieve something bigger. And it doesn’t mean it is impossible. The sad truth making people refuse to believe that success begins with themselves is the painful journey attached.
Isn’t it funny to hear how many people are wanting to be rich or successful but are not ready to work for it?
You can move from zero to hero, you can move from rags to riches if you throw the challenge at yourself.
Success never comes so easily —unless maybe you were born silver spoon in the mouth. As the Bible has said a lazy hand would find nothing to eat. He will clothe himself with poverty and all forms of hardships.
A change is very necessary in life. In reality, it is inevitable. Allow yourself to go through a positive change and move with the mindset that success begins with you.
Reasons Why Success Begins With You
If you fail to live wisely, you can’t blame anyone. If you live life without making a living — you can’t blame anyone.
You are responsible for how you handle situations; not what people think of you or who slandered you doing your struggles. Be a person of value( like a fruitful tree) and many will perch under you for shade.
There are good sides to everything that happens in life. That is the angle we gaze at for the inspiration to move forward. Negative feelings and thoughts only steal away your precious time and make you fruitless.
About 99.9999% of people in this world don’t even know you. So never try to mirror the lifestyle of anyone. Try not to impress your predecessors or contemporaries.
Embrace your difference, your fears, failures, and all the challenges but never let them take control of your life: Arrange them one after the other as stepping stones to the apex of your dreams.
You are not here on earth to impress anyone. No no —not even your parent. You are not in competition with anyone. It’s all about you and how you can derive the best out of every single minute that passes by.
Your success starts with yourself —so never be lured into the world’s standard view of success or a “normal life.”
If you ever allow that— you will never be satisfied with what you have. Happiness doesn’t cost a dime. Contentment is something you need to hang around your neck like a necklace. But never look down upon yourself to crush the spirit living inside you. Be alive!
Time is irreversible — so move along with positive thoughts and actions. I believe these are some of the real gems you need to make yourself successful and happy in life.
Now, I believe you have been enlightened about how success begins with you. What are the next steps? Let me break them down for you. I am fond of #15. Yes! That’s my favorite. Make yourself successful through these ways:
1. Think positive
2. Set realistic goals
3. Be content with what you already have
4. Never underestimate yourself
5. Believe in your dreams/goal
6. Say ” No” to laziness
7. Never be afraid to take risks (positive risks)
8. Work hard
9. Be ready to change for the best( life transformation)
10. Avoid unnecessary comparison
11. Never allow the world to define you
12. Be mindful of your worth
12. Appreciate even the slightest progress you make in life
13. Motivate yourself — even if no one helps you or believes in you.
14. Be aware of bad friends or take people in your inner circle
15. Move silently when you working on your goals and let success make the noise.
16. Avoid procrastination(plant the seed today and in a few years you will enjoy its fruits).
17. Be frugal. Even after making greater achievements.
It is a choice to make your life the best in every respect. Begin with humility and God would favor you. Your success begins with what you focus on doing today. It works out like the law of cause and effect. Stay positive and motivated always.
